*In the Bey's Tent*
Suleyman Shah was absolutely furious at Halime and had ordered that once Feriha had recovered, she herself should punish Halime. He decided that for now he would keep Halime and her father in the caged tent and would keep her little brother away from them. The alps Abdurrahman and Melikşah caught the family before they could leave and escorted them to the caged tent and locked them in. They were given food, water and a prayer mat inside the cage. The guards stayed on watch and swapped shifts suring the night.
* 2 Days Later*
Feriha was feeling much better. Her stitches had successfully stayed in place and she was so thankful to Akcacoça for his work that she offered to help him with medicinal research. But before she could go and help him out, she needed to deal with Halime. She was recovered enough, so Suleyman Shah told her that she must choose and inflict a punishment on Halime. She was unsure at first but then decided 30 lashes should be punishment enough.
Feriha Hatun
I stood with my love Ertugrul as we waited in the centre of the tents with the rest of the tribe. Halime was dragged out kicking and screaming and then tied to a post as her father and brother watched from the side, yelling in protest. Suleyman Shah and Hayme Ana exited the tent together and Suleyman Shah raised his fist to get the people to be silent. Once silence had washed over the confused tribe the Bey spoke: "This girl, Halime Hatun. She attacked and attempted to murder my daughter in law. This was witnessed by all of my daughters and my wife. The stitches on Feriha's neck prove it and so, she will inflict suitable punishment" he finished.
I looked around and scoffed at our tribes people gasping in shock as they couldn't believe that someone they had invited into their tent could have such bad intentions. Ertugrul gave my hand a squeeze before I walked up to Suleyman Shah. "My dear daughter, have you chosen a punishment?" He asked me. "Yes Bey. I have chosen to give her 30 lashes for attacking me and attempting to take my life" I answered and he just nodded.
I walked towards Halime and Bamsi handed me a whip. I took it from him and stood about a metre away from Halime's back. I raised the whip in the air and gave the first lash. She screamed in pain but I ignored it and carried out her sentence.
A/N: I couldn't find a proper video so it had to be this recorded version.
